Fires in barracks of Russian Federation
This is not the first time that fires have occurred at Russian military facilities, including barracks.
For example, in December 2021, a fire broke out on the territory of a military unit in New Moscow (Russia). Two floors of the barracks were on fire.
Also in December 2022, a barracks housing mobilized Russians caught fire in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Later, Crimean partisans claimed responsibility for setting fire to these barracks with the mobilized soldiers.
